This feeling is becoming more proDMineed each day. Recent dispatches tell of the-statue of Frederick the Orea being removed from the facade of the war eollegtbuilding on the Potomac and being packed away for safe keeping.It is said that the removal Mas at the instance of the president,lie eoiUd not have i failed to notice th hitter eritieism in congressand elsewhere over the statue being allowed to remain. It was apersonal gift of the German emperor during Roosevelt's administrate to the American nation. I Therefore, the president felt, undoubtedly, that it should be put away for -safe keeping until after thewar had ended and ealm -was once, more restored. The incident,however, merely shows the extent to which this nation hr.s beenaroused by the program' of rnthlesflies practiced by the Prussianmilitary body. As a general rule the American stands for fairplay. He is a believer in clean sports. He is fair in his treatmentof an adversary. That spirit has been drilled into him. It is a partof his education. He does not believe in the wilful destrm tion ofanything.Those neaerst to him have gone "over there.'' Others arepreparing to go "over there" ab-o. We are at war. And as aconseauenee we are looking at things differently than ever before.While earrying on the war Germany at the same time is floodingthe United States with propaganda designed to cause us endlesstrouble. We no longer think of fair play when dealing with theHun. Though we do not believe in the practice circumstanceshave forced us to meet him on. his same level, to meet ruthlessnesswith rnthlessn(s, to attack him in the same manner that he. hasattacked the rest of the world, in a word, to make it so very unpleasant for him and his that he will be willing to cry quits. Itis safe to say that the day is not far off when tne American peopicwill declare a boycott on Germany, on its language, on its goodsand also on all Germans to which there is attached the slightest suspicion. Despite the fact that we are a peace loving people, despitethe fact that fair play is one of the characteristics of the the nation,. despite the fact that we are apt to forget the wrongs of yesterdaywhen peace is onee more 'declared, the majority of the Americanpublic will be likely to give Germany and Uerman-macie goousa wide berth for many years to come.t ma ae j a wi m eYOU NEVER CAN TELLTHE question of the Hun spy in the United States has reacheda point where one can hardly tell to whom one is speaking.The opinion has been quite prevalent in this eountry that a spywas a curious sort of a thing, that he was a person with characteristics that would set him apart, that would direct attention to himimmediately if he attempted to gather information. It became outpleasure recently to attend the movies with a secret service official. This official is one that has traveled throughout the UnitedStates and many foreign countries, having been sent abroad bythis government in the pursuit of his duties. He is considered oneof the most successful in his particular line. We don 't know whati his. business is in Tonopah nor even if he is still here. He came. along quietly to where we were ieated in the picture show andtook the vacant seat. The picture was "The Spy." And wewatched it with considerable interest. There was one character,a door tender, who, while the committee was discussing plans, kepthis ears wide open, so to speak. The picture showed this sameman sending the report to his employer later on. It was plainlyevident to all of the audience that the door tender was listeningintentlv and had any of the principal actors in the scene turnedto look for a moment at the door tender it would have been plainlyevident that he had heard- everything.To the secret service man it seemed a joke. He said the next.lay that that particular feature ot tne picture naa neen wwrveuto teach the public the need of wereey and the presence of the spvin practically all walks of life He then went on to explain thatthe well trained spy is a very slippery individual, that he is hardtn ,1.-.t-t Tie is found, ci-nerallv. where lie is least expected. Petals of a systematic, espiouage system on the Pacific coast directedby a German vice-consul in Mexico, have been laid bare by federalofficials, according to recent dispatches. A sailor was caught. Inhis nnssession were naners in the form of a diary. This had to dowith the progress of the war, activities of various sorts in thI'nited States, the departures, destinations and routes of vesselssailing from the United States, maps of the San Francisco and theSeattle harbors and the position and power of coast defenses atthose places. He was engaged in reporting such facts to a Germanvice-consul in Mexico from which point the information was evidently sent by wireless, to German headquarters. This man is to allaDDearane.es an ordinary sailor. There are thousands of sailors inSan Franciseo. The average American would never think of lookinr anion them for a spv. And yet this man had been employedin that capacity for months.

Eternal vigilance is the price of safety.at n n n h iINFLATION OF THE CURRENCYft jr ANY business men in the smaller communities think that Lib-1V1 erty bonds should circulate as currency and should be madelegal tender. They cannot see any danger in inflating the currencyas long as the United States government accepts such currency inpayment of debU and taxes. This is the greenback theory inanother form, says the New York Commercial. Carried to itslogical conclusion, the best thing for our government to do wouldhe to pay for everything in paper currency which would cost nothinf but the printing. The government is probably strong enough:.;..it n m.lntain auh nsner at nar bv accepting it in pay-nent of tatea and increasing the taie to a point that would leavehigh cost of living.CLIPPED AND CREDITED -,;Conscientious objectors are all but conscientious. Albany Journal.a a a -- aaa-a -- a a aTO KEEP UTILITIES FROril RAILROADS' FATEO. B. Willcox, vice-president of Bonbrlght & Co., sees that thecountry Is dependent on public service corporations for speed and success in war work and urges greater financial support tor them. In arecent Hsue of The Annalist he says:-Time and labor and money saying machinery in the United Stalesmust offset the high cost of labor, materials and fuel. Machinery will winthe war time and labor saving machinery: the same machinery andnothing else, canprotect our trade balances and our gold reserves againsttremendous and destructive losses when the strength of all the world willenviously reach out for our accumulated capital. fc"Our public utility systems save more time, labor and fuel, andtherefore, more money, than any machinery in this or any other country.These savings mean more rapid production and lower manufacturingcosts; that is why the demands upon the public utilities have beengreater than ever before, and that is why we are dependent upon themfor speed and success in preparing for and prosecuting the war."The President, in his latest declaration, ays that the achievementsof this year, on the ono side or the other, must determine the issue ofthis war, and that the forces that fiht for the freedom of men all overthe world, a well as our own, depend upon us in an extraordinary andunexpected degree, not only for sustenance, but also for materials bywhich men are to live and fight."t'nfortunatelj- the capacity of the utility systems is not equal tothe insistent demands for their service, as is everywhere apparent."As the breaking down of these systems would be a national calamity, o their preservation and their expansion is a national duty whichmust 'stimulate the efforts of congress and every patriotic citizen.'. Thedanger of the breakdown lies in both the low rates paid for service andthe difficulty of providing funds for payment of expansion demanded bythe public, and maturing obligations."Secretary McAdoo, with keen vision of the country's need, has disclosed both the present necessity for the capital required by the utilities as well aa other essential industries, and the remedy, in the 'WarFinance Corporation' which he has proposed in his recommendations tocongress. Tne Din ror tne organization oi mis exigent guvoiuuieui mixtion gives necessarily broad powers and wide discretion to its directors,as its critics have pointed out. To forfend grave dangers great powersmust be exercised, and for their functioning must be delegated.To quote again the president's last declaration, we must win the war.and 'the achievements of this year on the one side or the other must determine the issue.' If we err in our judgment let it be by too greatprovision for our needs rather than too little."'bnrdments on various sectors.wise in Italy the big gunsLikewereThe latest German official communication dealing with the situationdoing most of the work, although atjin the region of St. Mihiel, whereseveral points enemy patrols at-1 the Americans are defending the line.tempted to carry out diversions butNEW TODAYNKW TODAYT - militaryy y f 1 service' iIA Soldier's offering to his sweetheart 'is naturally the sweetmeatthat slave him most refreshmentand greatest enjoyment when onduty.The Flavor Lastsk?-7 K. tuiLymet with no success.At Neuve Eglise, northwest of Armentieres, where the Germans areendeavoring to drive their wedge infurther, in order to outflank Ypres.the heaviest fighting has taken place.Throughout Saturday night and Sunday there were battles of a most obstinate character, the Germans throwing thousands of men into the attack, notwithstanding their wastagein killed or wounded.
